Little Steps, Big Aspirations For All

Summer 1

Our topic this half term is Our World. We will be exploring the world around us, different climates, food, cultures, celebration and much more.

We will take part in weekly sensory stories exploring different parts of the world using props to fully engage in each story as well as enhancing our learning through sensory experiences in our continuous provision within our classroom and outdoor areas.

This will include exploring and tasting traditional food, looking at patterns, painting a range of different textures using different tools, exploring sensory bins filled with coloured rice and numerous sensory experiences.

We will take part in weekly sensology sessions using our senses to investigate items that relate to each country. As well as weekly cookery sessions, art, Tacpac, Attention everyone sessions, charanga and p.e.

We will spend time in the light and sounds room and hedgehog hideaway to engage in intensive interaction sessions.

We will go on weekly trips on the school bus to develop life skills such as crossing roads, accessing the community and experiencing new environments.
